Wearing Pandora is swollen and broken [Greek mythology]

Little conch, whirrrrr...

It seems that even if the sea is dry and the stone is rotten, it can't stop me from pursuing your heart.

On the beautiful beach, the persistent child blows the conch affectionately, calling for his mother in the distance.

However, this touching beach is filled with the aroma of fresh seafood being cooked.

"Well, enjoy. The freshly caught ones are delicious!" Pan Duoduo praised while eating the crabs contentedly.

Under her strong recommendation, Epimetheus and Chiron also gave it a try with dubious attitudes.After this trial, they were naturally overwhelmed by this grotesque hard-shell thing, and they all applauded.

"Although I live by the sea, I never really thought about eating this thing. I heard you call it a crab?" Chiron broke open another crab shell, and the white crab meat was still vacant. heat.

"It's just called casually. I see seabirds can eat it with relish, so I guess it tastes good. Amy, what do you think of the taste?"

"It's delicious." It seems that as long as the girl decides to try something, it doesn't taste bad. Maybe it's the culinary talent given by the kitchen god Hestia that she mentioned before is at work?

"Let's call Diu Diu over, he should be tired after blowing for so long." Mentioning the child who was still blowing conch shells, Pan Duoduo felt a bit guilty, and she turned her head to sit on the distant reef. The child shouted loudly: "Dudiu, come and eat something before continuing, you will be more motivated when you have enough strength!"

When Xiao Douding heard the girl's call, he wanted to insist on blowing to show his determination, but when he heard the phrase "more energy", he hesitated for a while, and moved over with the little conch attached.

"Come on, try the crab my sister caught." Pan Duoduo handed over a peeled crab leg. Very substantial.

The child obediently took it and tasted it, his eyes lit up immediately, and he started to gobble it up.

From the look of it, it should be that blowing the conch shell just took a lot of energy.

"Sister, if I keep blowing like this, will mom really come?" The child stopped suddenly while eating, and slowly raised his head to look at the girl.

"If you want to accomplish something, keep working hard towards it and getting closer to it, then it will eventually give you a response."

"Even if you don't achieve your most desired goals, your hard work will not be in vain, because in the process you will grow and progress from the past self to the present self."

Pan Duoduo was talking to the child, but at the same time it seemed to be talking to herself.

Xiao Douding felt a little dizzy, he thought for a while, and then murmured in frustration, "That means, even if I do this, is there still a possibility that mom won't come?"

"No." Pan Duoduo lowered her head and smiled softly at him, "Because Diudiu's goal is to let your mother come to you, your mother has a heart that loves you, she will definitely not be willing to let you wish in vain."

Deucalion looked up at the girl with a soft expression in a daze. The next moment, he suddenly felt a cold but extremely tender and compassionate hand on top of his head.

"Thank you."

It was an extremely gentle voice, with a kind of transparency and clarity of water flow, which made people feel like they were soaking in the slow tide of the shallow sea, and naturally felt a sense of immersion in comfort.

Pan Duoduo raised her head following the sound, and saw a woman quietly appearing behind the child at some point.She has ankle-length blue hair like flowing water, wearing a frilly white skirt that resembles silk fabric, and a jade-colored coral is simply dotted around her waist, which outlines the slender waistline lightly.

At this moment, she was leaning down her slender body slightly, gently stroking the child's soft brown curly hair with her white to transparent fingers.There is a kind and gentle smile on that beautiful and elegant face, but all the creatures who see her will be intoxicated by that pure gentleness.

Pan Duoduo had some insight.

Ah, this gentle beauty in front of me... Could it be the mother of this snotty little kid (who doesn't have one)? ! !

How can he be?

"It's our first meeting, I'm Pronoa, the mother of this child." The beautiful Ocean Goddess introduced herself in a comfortable voice, then turned to Pan Duoduo, smiled and nodded at her, "Although before I haven't met this beautiful girl yet, but am grateful to have someone as gentle as you by my child's side."

So soft and so beautiful.

Pan Duoduo was a little intoxicated by the other party's soft blue eyes, and she rarely said shyly, "You are overrated, Deucalion is really sensible and cute. I have been wondering for a long time, what kind of goddess is it?" With such a lovely child, how can I think that after seeing you, I feel that my imagination is still too narrow."

The three men on the side kept jumping out when they heard the good words that they don't need money, and they were a little shocked for a while.

Xiao Douding secretly shuddered—this woman actually called him by her real name?Still praising him like that?It was like taking the wrong medicine that his father had concocted, and it really terrified him.

Chiron thought to himself, he still underestimated that smooth-talking mouth.

Epimetheus became vigilant in an instant. He always felt that Dodo was too...enthusiastic when facing Sister Pronoia. He had never seen Dodo praise a god or person who had just met before. Why? Does he feel that his position is a little precarious?

When Ocean Goddess heard the girl's words, her smiling eyes were soft enough to overflow with water.She moved to sit next to the girl, and took the child beside her into her arms.

Deucalion hadn't seen his mother for a long time, and now he was nestling in his mother's arms like a well-behaved lamb, holding her neck tightly.

The Ocean Goddess kissed her son's forehead soothingly, nodded to Epimetheus as a greeting, and then set her sights on the centaur.

"This is Chiron," Epimetheus introduced consciously. "He lives near here. He saved us during the journey yesterday. Now he is our good partner."

"Hello." Upon hearing such an introduction, Pronoya sincerely thanked, "Thank you for taking care of them."

Chiron was flattered and quickly waved his hands, "This is just a small effort for me, there is nothing to be thankful for."

After introducing Chiron, Epimetheus was about to introduce Pan Duoduo to Pronoa, but unexpectedly Pronoa smiled and shook his head, "Although I haven't seen this one, I know your Name, I also know about you, Pandora."

Pan Duoduo was a little surprised, "You...know?"

"Yes. The water will tell me the answer."

"Every creek and every river will carry the stories they reflect into the embrace of the ocean. As long as I have the heart, I can know some news from afar." The Ocean Goddess has a soft voice, and her words are as soft as water Slowly flowing through the heart of the listener.

"It's just that sometimes the news comes a little later."

This is amazing, the whole natural espionage system, Pan Duoduo thought, "Sounds amazing."

"When I first heard about your arrival, I was very worried. But more and more water droplets later told me that you are a very good boy. Now I am completely relieved. Thank you for your support to Diudiu all the time. Take care. By the way, I also like the nickname 'Diudiu' very much."

Hearing what his mother said, the whole child is not good, so why does his mother call him that? Could it be that he will never get rid of this ridiculous name in his life?

Xiaozui pouted high in his mother's arms.

"I just want to thank Amy and Diudiu for taking care of me, and thank you for accepting me." Pan Duoduo said sincerely.

Pronoa nodded with a smile.

Chiron didn't understand Prometheus' prophecy about Pandora, so listening to their conversation at the moment, he felt confused.

"Do you want to see Prometheus now?"

"Yes. I think you know that we would like to ask him for some answers. Also, we can't hide it from you. We would like to ask for your help. I hope you can help us cross the bay."

Pronoya didn't deny it, she smiled and stroked the back of the child in her arms, and explained, "I know. It was because of this matter that I was delayed for a while, I didn't come late on purpose."

She leaned close to the child's ear with a gentle voice: "Mom apologizes to you, can Diu Diu forgive me?"

"Mom doesn't need to apologize," the child whispered, "I'm already very happy that you can come by my side."

Hearing such an answer, Pronoya's eyes filled with misty distress and guilt.

If possible, she would also like to accompany the child to watch him grow up, but even a god has too much helplessness.

As a child of God, you must learn to grow up strong and independent from an early age.

Pronoya kissed the child's cheek again, turned to Pan Duoduo and the others and said, "It's not too late, everyone, please come with me."

The few of them followed Ocean Goddess to the beach, and saw her whistle far away toward the sea.Immediately, waves surged in the distance, and after a while, a group of white dolphins jumped and swam towards them.

"These children are my friends. They are gentle and smart, and they can carry you across the bay."

Pan Duoduo looked at the group of dolphins not far away, and always felt that they looked very different from the dolphins he knew.Their skin has a warm white color, and they are all relatively large, a bit like killer whales.

It seems that piggyback swimming is really no problem.

When the child saw the group of dolphins, he tightened his mother's skirt, "Mom, are you going to say goodbye to us again?"

"Not for the time being, my child." Pronoa said softly, "I will accompany you to the other side of the bay. But child, you have to understand that parting is something that you have to experience in your life, and you have to learn to adapt to it. Yet?"

"Yeah." The child nodded obediently.He is not greedy, as long as he can stay with his mother for a while, he is satisfied.

"Are you all ready to go? If possible, we can leave now."

Pan Duoduo and the others looked at each other, making sure that all their luggage had been taken, and they didn't even leave the few remaining crabs that hadn't had time to eat.

"Get ready, let's go now."

"Okay, then please stand behind me and follow my steps to the dolphin."

Pan Duoduo watched Pronoa walk gently towards the sea, her white toes only made shallow dents on the water surface, and there was no sign of sinking at all.

She followed Shenzi and raised her steps, stepping on the sea water tentatively, feeling like she stepped on a piece of elastic jelly, cool and slippery, comfortable and interesting.

"This... is amazing." Pan Duoduo exclaimed.

Pronoa smiled and continued to lead them across the sea to the group of dolphins.

Sure enough, as Pronoa said, the white dolphins are very docile and friendly. They were not frightened when they saw the visitors, but they approached them intimately and rubbed the feet of these strange travelers.

"Okay, you can choose the children you like, and then sit on their backs." Pronoya put the son down in his arms and asked him to choose his own dolphin.

Then she turned her head and looked at Chiron, who was like a hill, "This one is a bit huge... You can come over and see if you can stand on this child's back. He is the strongest among this group of children."

Chiron expressed his gratitude for the careful care. To be honest, he was really afraid that he would crush the poor dolphin to the ground.When he looked in the direction Pronoa was pointing at, he saw a dolphin that was also as strong as a hill looking at him.

The centaur suddenly felt that he had found a bosom friend, "Let's just leave it at that, I feel like we can get along very well."

With Pronoa's help, he sat and lay on the dolphin's back smoothly. Although the posture was not very chic, it was very stable.

Pan Duoduo and the others had already chosen their own mounts.

"Okay, sit tight, we're about to set off." Pronoa whistled, and dived into the sea like a mermaid.

The dolphins began to move their bodies one after another, and Pan Duoduo realized that the dolphins under her were really starting to swim forward, so she couldn't help but burst into a bright smile.

Riding a dolphin across the sea, I feel very excited just thinking about it!
